Power Steering: Refer to Power Steering System Description and Operation in Power Steering System
The electric power steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, not the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.

Chevy Cobalt Trac Light On Harsh Shifting and NO COM All Modules
Your saturn is the same as the cobalt . You have a computer problem or serial data network .
My saturn Ion 2006 will cut off while i am
first thing to do is check for codes. this will give you a direction to begin diagnostics . most probable causes are, cranks sensor, ignition module or fuel pump. if you have a tach on the dash and you see rpm during cranking i would eliminate the possibility of a failed crank sensor, if no rpm signal go right to the crank sensor. next check for fuel pressure, 40psi is going to be within specs to allow it to run.
Hydraulic fluid
The tie rod boot might have liquified grease in it.
(If your engine is leaking oil underneath, motor oil might be in that boot.)
Grease is made of oil & soap, and these two can and do separate over time, and with heat.
I looked up your car, and it has no hydraulic fluid connected with the steering.
The rack & pinion is electric, and the only wear will be sloppy joints due to its being worn out, or electric motor failure.
I applaud your attention to good car maintenance..
"04 saturn ion problem
check fuses relays and connections to fan first then test fan[s] for failure if good check and test sensors
Put diode in wrong spots in fuse block.
There are two fuses that are next to it, one is a head light and the other is a fog light, those would hot all the time. There is a fuseablle link or a bigger fuse feeding this box. You can look for a whole wiring diagram on autozones site if you make a free account and look for the repair guides, then electrical. If not you need to get a Haynes manual or go to all data using the link from autozone. These wont be free.
I have an 05 Saturn: I shut it off the other day
changing plugs is not the answer
adding quality injector cleaner to the fuel is a far better option as misfires are from problem injectors / low fuel pressures and pump problems
have the fault codes read to get a close answer to the problem
